New Calling

A few weeks ago I was released as RS President. I had served about 2 1/2 years. It was actually one of my favoritest callings. I loved the women that I was able to serve with. My first presidency consisted of Jennifer Lomineck, Liana Taylor and Jamie Harmon. Then about 6 months ago I was asked to get a new presidency which were Kami Asay, Diana Park and Leslie Anderson. Oh how I grew to love each of these women and their strong testimonies. I will try and get a picture so that I will have it for my journaling. When I was asked to serve in this calling was just about the time my father passed away. I was reading and pondering a lot of scripture at this time. The scripture that I came across is found in

D&C 123: 13, 16-17. Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them..........You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God and for his arm to be revealed.

I felt like a very small helm, but greatly appreciated the help of my presidency. I certainly did have to cheerfully do all I could and then just stand back and watch the arm of the Lord. Many time the arm of the Lord was the other sisters in the Ward. I just stood back and watched them serve each other. I will certainly miss this time in my life, but understand that there is a time and a season for everything. The day I was released Matt was put into the bishopric which has thoroughly loved. He is a great man who loves the Lord and his family. I have been very blessed in my life.

So my new calling is Primary Teacher 8 and 9 year old. What a handful. But give me a few more weeks and I will have them whipped into shape. I had forgotten how fun Primary really is.
